5. Operating Instructions
- Turn On: Press and hold the On/Off button (usually marked with a power symbol) for a few seconds until the display illuminates.
- Select Temperature: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the temperature. The digital display will show the selected temperature. The straightener offers 15 precise heat settings, with a maximum of 200°C. Allow a few moments for the plates to reach the desired temperature.
- Activate IonTec: The IonTec function is typically activated automatically when the straightener is turned on. A small indicator light (often green) may confirm its operation.
- Temperature Booster (Optional): For very thick or stubborn hair sections, press the 'max' or 'booster' button. The plates will rapidly heat to the maximum temperature for 20 seconds. After this period, the straightener will revert to your previously selected temperature.
- Hair Preparation: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
- Straightening: Separate a small section of hair. Place the section between the heated plates, close the straightener, and gently glide it down the hair from root to tip in one smooth motion. Avoid holding the straightener in one place for too long.
- Repeat: Continue with other sections of hair until desired style is achieved.
- Turn Off: After use, press and hold the On/Off button until the display turns off.
- Cool Down: Allow the straightener to cool completely on a heat-resistant surface before storing.

- Clean Body: Wipe the exterior of the straightener with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the cooled straightener in a dry, safe place, away from moisture. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance.
